Wrong. Perfectly ok to not care for both.So, what you’re saying is, you should have the right to whine about NBC, but no one should have the right to whine about Fox? Actually no what, don’t answer that because I’m done. Unlike youI actually mean it and won’t reply if you do.
Looked like he just got a talkin to from his daddy
*has 'Nam flashbacks to Talladega 2 last year and Watkins Glen prior*
I've been known to go back about an hour before green and move the car out closer to the exit. I can walk faster then most and can get there before the congestion starts.
Out of parking and on the road last May in 20 minutes after ther green dropped, 15 of them walking time to the car. It also helps to know the back way in from Columbia.
Fox is pretty bad. They seem to miss a lot of stuff that if not for X or other media I would not know about. Plus I am not digging the chemistry between Clint and Harvick. They seem to talk over each other a lot while at the same time not saying much. I won't complain about NBC until I have a reason to this season though. Either way, long gone are the day of GOLD we used to get with Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons and other guys like Ken Squire.
I would have liked to have seen CBell give him a quick thump to the sternum, but that is not who he is. Kyle is a *****.....we have been told that by @StandOnIt for years.
BS. Bell had the best car all day. Willy B. and his team managed the race perfectly. Busch and Larson were in the way. Kyle is bubbling. We have seen this before. One week storms off. The next it's somebody else's fault. If I remember it correctly, he should be taking a punch to the face soon....and then his crew chief and team will abandon him.
The best car is the one in victory lane and that was William Byron who also led the most laps from the pole to the winners circle.
True statement. This is another race that Chevy won not because of having the best car
True statement. Bell did have the best car just did not run a mistake free race and strategy did not work very well. Byron had a great car yes and on new tires in clean air he could take off. This is another race where Chevy won yes but the raw speed was lacking for most except Byron. Calling it now - Next week's race is very appropriately sponsored as it will be the Toyotas and everyone else. If someone told me now Chase would finish between 10th and 15th I'd be happy with that.
It feels like NASCAR is chasing a moving target of their own making. At end of the last gen car the road courses were producing some of the best racing. Cars could pass. So they have more road courses now and the racing on them has declined with this new car. Yesterday's race was not terrible but just kind of "meh" that only true race fans could appreciate. It is slightly improved form last year as far as passing but still not great.
Maybe the plow attached to the front of the 20 slowed them down just enough to let the 24 win??
I think the 20 had it in for both of the Kyles
Byron had a great car and track position all day and the best execution with a killer pit stop to win it at the end. Usually that equals a win. Bell had a great car but was lacking in the other areas.
Bell’s pit crew cost him yet another win. 3 seconds slower on the final stop. That was the difference.
It still looked like he got a talking to from his daddy
I couldn't agree more.
I mean, you do understand what Adam was doing with winning Stage 1, right. Tell me you understand that. Tell me that you understand that given that disadvantage Bell took the best car, and damn near won anyway. You do understand this right? And you do understand that you don't have to have the best car to win, right?
No cautions for cause, multiple strategies, critical green flag pit stops, and it ended with the top two cars converging within a second on the final lap. That’s really as good as it gets! Byron was out front a lot, but there was plenty going on inside the top 5/10 most of the race.
Nah man I don't understand. I just saw Byron passing him on his way to leading the most laps and winning the race in dominating fashion.
That's a fair point and I agree with it but if someone asks me who had the most raw speed on Sunday, right now, while the race is still fresh in my head I will say Bell did regardless of how many laps Byron led or where they finished. Bell's strategy did not work out well and he started further behind and did not have track position most of the day because of the strategy they went with and to top it all off his crew choked at the end and with that he STILL almost was able to pull it off. There is no question Byron had a great car (all the HMS cars had speed except Larson?) but the race and strategy also played out perfectly for him and his crew did not choke at the end which equals win. You are right though,no one will remember that Bell had the best car and probably should have won if his team executed better.
....and that strategy was dictated by the fact that Bell had a win, and wanted the Playoff point. In all honesty, Byron's strategy was just a bit better as he was in the same boat as Bell, but got the 5 Playoff points at the end of the day. This is a strategy that I have seen Adam use before (Sonoma, 2019), and again he came up a bit short with it....but so close. Fascinating stuff.
Byron deserved it. No question.Nah man I don't understand. I just saw Byron passing him on his way to leading the most laps and winning the race in dominating fashion.
